It depends on what type of caterpillar you are talking about. For instance, the woolly bear (or worm) stays in its cocoon from an average of ten to fifteen days. There are oth â¦ er ranges, of course, but that is because woolly bear caterpillars are so common throughout the world.
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
A vibration is a movement back and forth, sometimes like simple harmonic oscillation. Kinetic Energy is the energy associated with motion, and is equal to .5mv^2. So, temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of a molecule. Or in other words, a higher temperature something means the molecules are vibrating back and forth more quickly, ie, more kinetic energy. Austin.
